So when you say “Simply download Windows 10 and select the “Upgrade This PC Now” option and follow on-screen instructions to upgrade to Windows 10.” that means I go to the Download Windows 10 page (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10) which says, “To get started, you will first need to have a license to install Windows 10” so then all I need to do is enter my Windows 7 Product Key?

I have 2 questions My current windows 7 is raid 10. Can I install windows 10 over it and have the raid survive? I recently upgraded my laptop from 7 to 10 and it installed over the 7 and used the oem license. my desktop has a win 7 pro license will it see it and use it ok?
